Abstract
The combination of the anti-PD-1 antibody nivolumab plus the anti-CTLA4 antibody ipilimumab showed promising efficacy outcomes as first-line therapy in 45 patients with mismatch repair deficient (dMMR) or microsatellite instability-high (MSI-H) colorectal cancer (CRC) as part of the single-arm, phase II CheckMate 142 trial. Now, data from the phase III CheckMate 8HW trial confirm the efficacy of this combination in this setting.
A total of 303 patients who had not received systemic therapy for unresectable or metastatic dMMR/MSI-H CRC were randomly assigned (2:1) to receive either ipilimumab plus nivolumab or investigator’s choice of chemotherapy, with or without targeted therapy. Patients were also randomly assigned to a nivolumab monotherapy arm, although data from this arm were not reported at this cutoff. Progression-free survival (PFS) in those with centrally confirmed dMMR/MSI-H status (255 patients) was the primary end point.
